Lights of Home (St Peter's String Version)

(04:33)

Song Lyrics

I shouldn’t be here ‘cause I should be dead
I can see the lights in front of me
I believe my best days are ahead
I can see the lights in front of me

Oh Jesus if I’m still your friend
What the hell, what the hell you got for me
I’ve got to get out from under my bed
To see again the lights in front of me

Hey I’ve been waiting to get home a long time

Hey now
Do you know my name?
Hey now
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home

I was born from a screaming sound
I could see the lights in front of me
I thought my head was harder than ground
I could see the lights in front of me

One more push and I’ll be born again
One more road you can’t travel with a friend
Saw a statue of a gold guitar
Bright lights right in front of me

Hey, I’ve been waiting to get home a long time

Hey now
Do you know my name?
Hey now
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home

Hey now
Do you know my name?
Hey now
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
In your eyes alone
I see the lights of home

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could
Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could
Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could
Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could see.
